BEIJING
(Reuters) - President of China, head of its Communist Party,
commander-in-chief of the military and now living Buddhist deity - Xi
Jinping has added another title to his growing collection, at least in
the eyes of some ethnic Tibetans.
Speaking
on Wednesday on the sidelines of China's annual meeting of parliament,
the party boss of the remote northwestern province of Qinghai,
birthplace of the Dalai Lama, said Tibetans who lived there had been
saying they view Xi as a deity.
Wang
Guosheng said the province had been following Mao Zedong's advice about
inspiring the masses to love the party and its leader, distributing
"images of the leader" to people in poverty-stricken areas being moved
into new homes.
